Neat concept - think a good addition is to help startups find founding *team* members (folks who want to get involved early, can't leave their jobs <> founders who haven't raised capital yet but need more hands on deck). I think there's a generally bigger market for this.

@niyogi Great suggestion and one of the features we're also exploring in our roadmap.
Craig Weebler
This is awesome! Already signed up and started searching for cofounders, hope it works out :) Should be especially good for goofs like me that their own ideas.

@craig_weebler Thanks Craig! The world needs goofs with ideas, we're just happy to provide them with a platform for it ;)
Andrew Pierno
Super cool concept, but your signup flow is brutal. Didn't work on mobile at all. those tall modals aren't scrollable.

@andrewpierno Hi Andrew, yes we are aware of this issue on some mobile devices. It's in our pipeline to fix as a top priority

@andrewpierno This should now be fixed :)

@sharfunnisa_quadri Thanks Sharfunnisa!

Very cool concept, already signed up. Are you looking to expand to other type of lifestyle businesses not necessarily "start ups"? (i.e. Looking to start a marketing agency in x place).
Jeff Ski Kinsey
It has some traction. Keeps the first phase and sign-up simple.

@jeff_ski_kinsey Thanks Jeff :)
Jeff Ski Kinsey
Disappointed there is no filter for search. I see everyone, even though I am only looking for co-founders with a product.

@jeff_ski_kinsey this is coming very soon ;)

@jeff_ski_kinsey @ben_liger Second vote. Make this a priority. Also the ability to Star or favorite people. Nice work!
Ben Liger
Maker
@jeff_ski_kinsey @nashtheory Yep, also ability to star certain ideas!
Nash
@jeff_ski_kinsey @ben_liger I just used the app for about 20 minutes and messaged some people. I'll let you know how the notification flow works out. Dig the idea for sure. Cleaner than CoFoundersLab etc

@jeff_ski_kinsey @nashtheory You can now filter through the founders, the filters will also automatically apply what's relveant to your profile settings :)
Oleg Anedchenko
registration doesn't work for me (ubuntu, chrome), it complains about profile image. i tried all possible ways to add it.
Ben Liger
Maker
@oleg_anedchenko1 Sorry to hear that Oleg, we're going to look into this as a priority
Denny Harijanto
On firefox for android, when I tried to upload profile image, I got redirected to homepage, and no account was created. I'll try on PC I guess
Denny Harijanto
Update: On firefox Windows 10, the registration form is cut off and not scrollable. I couldn't finish the registration without having to zoom out all the way until the button is shown.

@antonius_harijanto That's now fixes Antonius, thank you for pointing out the bug and for your patience!

User interface is well structured and flowing (with desktop Chrome).
Parsamov Uri
How this one is different from other services that help to find a co-founder ? Why will enterpreneurs use it ?
Ben Liger
Maker
@parsamov_uri In our opinion the UI is much more intuitive, we also have a few cool features that will be rolled out very shortly. The focus for the launch was on getting an MVP product to market and rolling out these other features shortly after
Taras Matsyk
I really wanted to give it a shot but could not sign up as my auto generated password does not include one digit, one letter and one more hour to get through sign up :(
Ben Liger
Maker
@taras_matsyk Sorry to hear you had these issues signing up Taras, we are working hard to roll out a patch that should fix this very soon
Wade Armstrong
FYI, logo and color scheme are very close to what Beeminder uses https://www.beeminder.com/
Chris Messina
@ben_liger Your password validation is both too conservative (no extended characters?) and also too lax (only 1 number and 1 letter required, min 8 characters?).
Ben Liger
Maker
@chrismessina Hey Chris, thank you for the feedback - going to take this one onboard and change in an upcoming release!
jon vlassopulos
The mobile onboard module doesn’t work - you can’t scroll down to add input fields
Ben Liger
Maker
@vlasso This should now be fixed :)
Lionel Cuny
@vlasso @ben_liger still does not work Can't sign up
Ben Liger
Maker
@vlasso @lionelcuny We had to roll back a patch as it was affecting another part of the site, rolled out a better one this morning and can confirm it now works. Sorry for inconvenience!
JP Taxman
Still needs some work. 1) my initial password didn't work when I definitely followed their rules 2) couldn't scroll when signing up to the complete the process 3) I didn't really want to sign up and go through all of the before knowing of there is even anyone in my city on the platform to find. If there's not it's just a big waste of time.
Sebastian Miranda
Your sign up is bugged on desktop chrome. Cant scroll down futher than what stage is your idea at. Will wait to fix as cant sign up at the moment. Could do with some inspect element, but cant be bothered right now lol

@seb_mira1 Thats now fixed Sebastian :) Sorry for the troubles signing up, it should now work

Starthawk is a fantastic resource for anyone starting up. Lots of great advice and blogs. It's interesting searching through profiles and pitches. Def plan to connect to a few co-founders, shortly!
